This was a suit instituted by the wife for dissolution of marriag e on the ground of adultery and cruelty. A rule nisi had been obtained for an attachment against a Mr bluloch. an elderly gentleman of some standing and posi tion in the county of Stafford, nr contempt of Conn, in writing a letter to the petitioner, Mrs Chetwynd, dated the 1 6th of July, threatening that unless she discontinued pro ceedings in this case against her husband on or before the ahh inst., he would publish, on his own responsibility, all the particulars he knew of her case, accompanied by a statement of her career both before and after her marriage. Mr Muloch a few days ago appeared in court, and, after having entered at great length the Judge Ordinary ordered him to refrain from Publishing such a statement, Lut Mr Muloch still refused, and he was ordered to attend in court to-day. The learnad Judge at great length expressed his opinion that, according to the authorities on the point, Mr Muloch had been guilty of a contempt of Court, and he therefore fined him £3OO, but directed, at the same time, that the fine was not :o be enforced until next term, during which period Mr Muloch would have an opportunity of reflecting upon his posi tion, At that time he should be quite ready to hear 4 °Y statement that might be made for the reduc tion or the fine, but daring that period, if Mr Moloch did anything to the prejudice of Mrs Chetwynd he would be liable to a further fine or imprisonment. Mr Mulock then left the court with his friends. (Vefore a Special Jury.) CODRINGTON v. CODRINGTON AND ANDERSON.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CHARGE —.SUPPOSED BURGLARY.—Peter Selby Moss, a young man described as a watchmaker, of 0 - m l , am-street, Manchester, was charged before Mr. Knox with burglariOdY breaking and entering the house 43, Wardour.street. Mr Nicholas Riddell, a lodger in the house, said—About half-past two o'clock this morning I was disturbed by hear ing a noise in the house, and on going out of my room on to the first-floor landing I found the prisoner trying to en ter another room. The prisoner seeing me held up his hands, which were both bleeding, and then fell on his knees, exclaiming, " Save me I" and saying that he had come to the place for protection. I went down stairs and found the fanlight had been broken, and then sent for an officer. Mr Knox—What size is the fanlight, and is it easy to get at ? Mr Riddall—The fanlight is very small, and it is wonder ful how the prisoner got through, The glass was broken and also some of the woodwork, and the prisoner must have climbed up by means of the knocker, there being marks on the door. Sergeant Glass, 3 C—l wish to state that yesterday morn ing the prisoner was seen by a constable in Oxford-street, and on the constable, it bEing at an early hour, asking him what he was about, he said that he had come from the country and some men were following him about. Harrold, 207 C—l was called to 43, IVardour-street, this morning, and found the prisoner on the landing of the first firwhy he came there, he said for pro tectionoo On from as t k h in ie g ve h s i . m Itook tne prisoner to the station, and he said he lived at Oldham-street, Manchester. Barns, the gaoler—Both the prisoner's hands are cut. Sergeant Glass—On searching the prisoner some watch keys were found upon him, but not a farthing in money, Pien with my family, and left home in a l r r passion. h I T h h a e d r a e is more in this than meets the eye. I will remand the prisoner for a week, and leave the matter in the hands of the sergeant, who can communicate with the police at Manchester. It is no burglary, it is evident. The prisoner, who is a respectable-looking young man, was then remanded. SECOND EDITION. BUN OFFICE, HALF•PAST 4 O'CLOCK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, GOODWOOD RACES—This DAY.

While stating the charge the prisoner deliberately struck Reid, who was standing by, on the mouth, and knocked him down. The constable's mouth was swollen and injured. Mr Paget asked the constable if he had anything to do with the charge against the prisoner. Reid —Nothing at all, sir. Mr Paget—Only standing by and looking on. Reid—That is all, sir. Mr Paget—And not on police duty ? Archer, an older police-constable, 101 H, here said—l beg pardon, sir, the constable was on duty; he was the reserve man on special duty in the station-house. There is a reserve man on duty in every station-house in the metropolitan police district day and night. The prisoner muttered that he was drunk last night, and knew nothing about the matter. He never saw the con stable before. Mr Paget—And you strike him a cowardly blow in the station-house without the semblance of provocation.

The supply of Euglidh wheat on sale here to-day was moderate. The trade, generally speaking, was rather quiet; nevertheless, previous quotations were supported. The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat. In most descriptions a very moderate business was transacted at the rates current on Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at late rates. There was rather more foreign barley on offer, and the barley trade ruled quiet at barely stationary prices. The malt trade was steady at previous quotations.' Ihe supply of oats on sale was large. Both English and foreign descriptions met a slow sale, and prices ruled, in some instances, the time in favour of buyers. Beans and peas are very firm, with an upward tendency in prices. For flour there was a moderate inquiry, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley, Malt. Oats. Flour. English 650 2,040 1,190 390 Irish .. foreign 1 7, 6 30 3,470 30,540 340 sks. 26,760 Wis.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—This Day. The business of the session of Parliament for 1864 ter minated to-day. At 3 o'clock the Lord Chancellor, Earl de Grey and Ripon, Lord Wensleydale, Earl St. Germans, and Lord Sydney entered the house robbed as Royal Com missioners, and, having taken their seats in front of the throne, The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the Usher of the Black Rod to inform the Commons that their lordships desired their immediate attendance in that house. In a few minutes afterwards the Speaker of the House of Commons, accompanied by Lord Palmerston, Sir G. Grey, and a large number of other members, appeared at the bar. The LORD CHANCELLOR then informed them that her Majesty, not thinking it fit to attend and prorogue Par liament in person, had abetted the same to be done by royal commission. The Royal assent was then given by commission to the following long list of public and private bills :—Consoli dated Fund (Appropriation)—Exchequerßonds(£l,6oo,ooo) —Fortifications (Provision for Expenses)—Scottish Epis copal Clergy Disabilities Removal—Turnpike Acts Continuance--Registration of Deeds—lonian States Acts of Parliament Repeal--Turnpike Trusts Arrangements—.

The LORD CHANCELLOR then read her Majesty's speech on the closing of Parliament (which will be found in another part of The Son), immediately after which his lordship said, by virtue of the royal commission, he de clared Parliament prorogued until Thursday, the 13th day of October. The members of the House of Commons then withdrew, and the proceedings terminated. --__. HOUSE OF COMMONS. --This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past two o'clock. STANDING ORDERS. Mr FORSTER gave notice that he would move, next session, for an alteration in the standing order No. 7, FIRE INSURANCE. Mr SHERIDAN gave notice that, next session, he wo uld repeat the motion he had made for a re duction. in the insurance duty on house and stock property. THE DANO-GERMAN QUESTION. In reply co Sir H. VERNEY, Lord P A.LNIERSTON was understood to say that, -so long as the Conference was sitting in this country, the Government interfered, but at present they did not think themselves bound to make any proposals in reference to the subject, THE WOUNDED RIFLEMAN. Mr IL B. SHERIDAN asked the Under Secretary of State for War whether the 20th section of the Volunt ee r Act of 1863 would apply to the c ase of a private (William Lodge, 146, Cannon street-road, St. George's-in-the- East,) of the Third London Rifle Volun teer Regiment, who was disabled while under official inspection, and therefore in actual military service, viz., on the 16th of May, 1864, at West-end Park, Kilburn—the section referred to being as follows :—" A volunteer, or non-commissioned office: of the volunteer permanent staff, disabled on actual military service shall, according to his rank, be entitled to the like pensioa and other benefits, if any, as a soldier of her Ma jesty's army." Mr HUTT, in the absence of the Marquis of Harting ton, said that, unfortunately , except in the case of injuries inflicted in consequence of an invasion of the country, a member of the Volunteer corps would not be entitled to a pension. PRISON MINISTERS ACT. Mr lIENNESSY called attention to the proceedings of the Middlesex magistrates with reference to the Prison Ministers Act; and moved an addr, ss for papers. He said that a petition numerously signed had been presented against the practice that prevailed at Coldbath-field Prison, in conformity with the instructions of the visiting jus tices of Middlesex. That practice had reference to the manner in which Roman Catholic prisoners were treated in regard to being compelled to receive spiritual instruction from scripture readers and clergymen of the Church of England, which he contended was in direct contravention of the Prison Ministers Act, and the spirit upon which legislation had proceeded in dealing with Roman Catholic convicts, in order to prevent their con seientious feeling being outraged under the circumstances in which they were placed. He denounced in strong terms the conduct of the visiting justices, which he argued was a proof' that the old feeling of animosity against members of the Roman Catholic body was still in existence in this country,and developed itself frequently notwithstanding the alleged feeling of religious tolerance which was stated to prevail. Mr NEWDEGATE defended the justices of Middlesex from the imputation of the hon. and learned member, He said that Mr Pennell ( th e chairman of that body) was a guarantee that nothing of an unfair description would be sanctioned by him. He read the resolution agreed to by the justices which prohibited interference with the spiritual instruction of the prisoners. Sir G. GREY said that his attention had been drawn to this subject, and from inquiries he had made he was quite satisfied that there was no foundation for the charges that had been made against the justices of Middlesex, and he ridiculed the idea of such a body compromising themselves in the mode in question. MEXICO. Mr KINGLAKE called attention to the state of our present relations with Mexico, and moved an humble address to her most gracious Majesty for the production of certain papers in reference to the subject. He said it was rather anomalous that the French invasion of Mexico, which re sulted in the occupation of only a small portion of the terri tory, should have led to 39,000 French soldiers being stationed there. Lord PALMERSTON said that the policy which was pursued by this country was to enter into amicable relations with every Power, whether a monarchy or a republic, when either of their forms of government had been established. Before the Archduke Maximilian went to Mexico the Go vernment of the country had declined to enter into any re lation or treaty with him, as being opposed to the practice of government. However, when the people of that cauntry recognised him. they then entered into friendly relations with him. The principal ground of complaint on the part of this country in regard to Mexico was that it had hitherto been governed by some chiefs who used their authority for the purpose of plundering and ill treating British subjects. With regard to a change in the Government of that country, it must be remembered that a large portion of the population were in favour of the same, not being eati:.fied with Spanish rule, to which they had been so long subjected. PROROGATION OF THE HOUSE. At a quarter past three o'clock, Sir AUGUSTUS CLIFFORD, Usher of the Black Rod summoned the Speaker and members to the Upper House to hear the Royal Speech proroguing Parliament by com mission. The right hen gentleman, accompanied by seve ral members, 111‘n proceeded to the House of Lords, and, after a short absence, returned. The tl'EAli.Bll. having read the Royal Speech, the mem bers shook hands with the right hon. gentleman, which terminated the session of 1864. HOUSE OF COMMONS--Last Evening. EMIGRATION (AM E RICA). Lord E. HO WARD called attention to the subject of emigration to the United States of America, in reference to the prolongation of the war now raging in that country. The gravity of the subject would be his justification for bringing forward the subject at that late period of the ses sion. In consequence of his position as a member of the distress relief committee at Glossop, one of the towns most affected by the cotton distress, he found it became necessary to have a census made of the population in that district, and one of the elements of that census was the question of emigration. He found that a large emigration had prevailed from that district, and in the course of the inquiry he disco vered that it was also large from the cotton districts in gene ral. In 22 towns taken promiscuously from the cotton dis tricts—he did not know that they were the largest towns — and in the course of a few months, setting aside single men, of married men not less than 1,460 had left this country for the United States, of whom not less than 780 had deserted their wives, leaving 2,160 persons chargeable upon the rater. Besides that, he had the names of fourteen persons who had emigrated from one locality in Manchester within three months, and of these not less than twelve had deserted their wives and families, and probably most of these were young and . newly-married men. these circumstances showed that there must be come deep cause at work. It would not meet the argument to say that these men had emigrated intending afterwards to send for their wives and families, because they knew that there had been instances in which the manufacturers of America had sent for manu facturing hands from England, paying the expenses of the voyage for themselves and their families, the agreement being that this amount was to be deducted afterwards from their wages. He had further to say that great caution was exercised by those agents who took these people out of the country, for they did not give written documents or money until the emigrants were safe on board the vessels which were to convey them to America. He would instance another case, which showed how these emigrants were dis posed of when they reached the other side of the Atlantic. He had a letter in his hand relating to the ease of a man who was a private in the Manchester volunteer, This letter was written by an officer of that corps, who stated that a young man in his company had been decoyed to New York. A companion of his had seen an advertisement in a newspaper stating that young men were wanted in Canada, and that they would have permanent employment at the rate of 35s per week. An interview took place between this young man and his agent, and the young man agreed to go. The statement made was, that on ar riving in Canada employment would be obtained imme diately. On this understanding six men were induced to go. On arriving at Liverpool conveyances were waiting to take them to the ship. On getting on board the Virginia they found that this vessel was bound for New York, but they were told that on their arrival there they would be reshipped for Canada, When they arrived at New York they were provided with refreshments, and they were told that they would be conveyed to Long Island. On their arrival there two of the men enlisted at once ; this young made his escape, and succeeded in getting into the hold of one of the Cunard steamers ; and on his arrival at home declared himself " a miserable victim of Yankee rascality." Nor was that a solitary instance. There was a case now before the Foreign-office in which a man named Macartney was landed at New York with a letter for £lO. He was drugged, robbed ; and, while in a state of stupefaction, enlisted into the Federal navy. He was not enlisted voluntarily. lie believed that on all the large passenger ships sailing from Liverpool agents of the Federal Government were on board with the view of recruiting young men. He was told of such a case two days ago in which an emigrant was treated by a person on board an American passenger ship and invited to a house at New York. He accepted the invitation, he was drugged with whisky, and the next thing of which he became con scious was that he was a Federal soldier, He deserted, but was captured, and placed in gaol. If they opened any news paper, and referred to the police-sheet, similar cases would be found. He had seen the case of a man from Hull, who had been taken to an island near New York, no doubt Long Island, 'where he met with several other Englishmen, who had been impressed into the Federal service, and it was complained that those outrages were constantly committed. There was the case of another man who was paid a cheque for £4O, which sum he received from the Ame rican Government, and he was now in General Grant's Federal army. He looked with great concern upon the great emigration at present going on, and he advised the large manufacturers to do their utmost to stop the flow of skilled labour from their several districts. The noble lord then referred to the circumstances that occurred a short time ago in Ireland, and afterwards read extracts from letters written by those who had unfortunately been deluded into quitting England for America, all of whom advised their fellow workmen to look with the greatest suspicion upon all inducements to visit a t e United States at the present moment. It might be that the wages given there would be larger than those in Eng land, yet the price of the necessaries of life were so enor mous that the lesser sum earned in England went further than that to be obtained in America. Mr Justice Fitzgerald in a charge he ga;'e the other day, referred to the terrible frequency with whicie such acts were committed. Within the last few days the no;; 10 lord said some papers with re gard to this question had beer: Presented to the other house, and copies had also been distributed amongst honourable members, and he advised every hon. member who took an interest in the question to read them, l .eling assured that he would get up from their perusal with a Leart full of sore row. The scene opened very much like a melOrama, only he was sorry to say that the jocose part was very little in deed. The correspondence opened with an aceieunt of two rascale. One of them pretended that he was connected with some railway works in America, ' and the other (who would not be misrepresented by describing his actions as such as would well become the character of an imp of the devil) --(hear, hear) —plotted and made the necessary bargains with the people. He ac cordingly deluded 120 men to leave Ireland on a false representation of the work and the amount of wages to be paid, but on board the steamer was a man who was almost a match for him. One of the men wore his hat on the side ot his head, and by that means contrived to disguise the fact that he had but one eye until they were in the middle of the ocean. Now, having but one eye did not make the man a worse labourer, but it did a worse soldier, and on the man Feeney discovering it he abused him very much, showing that his real object was to obtain men for the American army and not for railway works. (Rear, hear.) When the ship arrived in the docks the men were surrounded and dosed with whisky. Many of them were placed in the police cells, and collisions were stated to have occurred between the policemen and the recruiting agents, and in the end several of the men who emigrated found themselves, much against their inclination, in the Federal army. They applied naturally to our consuls for advice and assistance, and a correspondence took place bet ween our consuls and Lord Lyons and the American Government, and also between Lord Lyons and the Foreign-office upon the subject. From that correspondence, which, as he had already said, had been printed, it appeared that emigrants were made drunk, inveigled into the army, and robbed by the recruiting agents of the bounty, so that the sharks who preyed upon them made largo profits; and many of the scenes which Mr Consul Lousada witnessed at Boston involuntarily recalled to his mind his experience/5 in Caba. It was, however, to be hoped that the publica tion of these facts would check the traffic. (Hear.) It was stated that many of these speculators often cleared 500 dole and more by these transactions. The man Feeney, who took this cargo of slaves out to America, was arrested in Ireland on the charge of endeavouring to enlist m en for the Federal army, but he was released becauseitwha's thought he produced proper and suffic ient proofs that s enterprise was a legitimate one--that of procuring men for a railway undertaking . . (Hear.) On the 7th of April, 184 Consul Murray wrote to Lord Lyons with regard to the men taken out by Fee ne y , that there could be no doubt there was a systema tic attempt to get the men drunk for the purpose of enbstingthem. The poor men who left Blackburn under the direction of Ainsworth, whom they first sent outbe to Candadahad to not tee if labour could be found there, it was to hope in shared the fate, but Ainsw orth had turned up a wretched state at Portland, and his scheme had failed. (Hear.) His object in bringing the subject under the consideration of the house was to ware his fellow- countrymen for the future against these designing agents, and not for the purpose of making an y charge against the American Government. On the 3d of May, 1834, Lard Lyons, in a despatch to the Foreign Secretary, stated that the number of British subjects serv ing in the United States army and navy was very conside rable. IThe most laborious, painful, and unsatisfactory part of his duty since the war had broAen out was con nected with the complaints of British subjects, and no pains had been spared by himself or the consuls in inves tigating thee, and every effort was tr ade to obtain redress in those cases that were well founded, but in few cases only had their efforts produced any satiEfac;;ory results. (Hear, hear.) Major General Dix, the mili Lary commandant at New York, had informed the America.o Secretary to the Navy that almost every imaginable form of fraud, outrage, and dissipation had been developed by the American re cruiting agents to obtain the recruiting bounty. Boys had been deluded from their homes ; men had been drugged; and, in short, every artifice and fraud had been resorted to, and men labouring under incurable diseases had been pressed into the service, in order to plunder the American Government of the bounty money. The unfortunate men from this country were tleceived and kidnapped in the most scandalcus and inhuman man ner in New York. Whilst they were unconscious from drink they were clothed in the uniform of the Ft.deral army, and on coming to their senses they sudden) y found themselves absorbed in an army, and called upon to take part in a war the objects of which they were not only igno rant of, but indifferent to its results. The noble lord then farther quoted from Lord Lyons's despatches which de picted the horrors of the system in America, and which was corroborated by Major-General Dix ; and in one of Lord Lyons's despatches he stated that British subjects who claimed exemption had, contrary to the general rule, been sent to the army, and many of them had been shot and others wounded pending the inquiry into the justice of their claims. In a war of defence it was the duty of every man to take up arms in support of his country; but a war of aggression he looked upon as wicked, and those who foisted themselves into it and took part in it dir. no other than commit murder. It was true there were Nome men—filibusters or buccaneers—who drew down on them selves a certain amount of approbation from a large portion of mankind ; but ho doubted if any right-rainded man applauded the conduct of those who joined in it, and thereby prolonged that which every one would wis'a to see stopped. (Hear, hear.) He had no wish to ssy r,nything about the United States Government or army. - de cared not what government a country had so long as it protected industry, was just, and gave the necessary amount of pro tection and happiness to its people; and with regard to the American army, and also the Southern army, they had shown themselves to be composed of men whose fighting had not been equalled; but he could not help thinking that it would be more just towards theist) bravo men that their numbers should not be added to by men who had nothing to do with the struggle that was now raging in America. (Hear, hear.) It was time that this struggle should cease, and be thought we ought to do everything in our power to prevent those evils being increased by the emigration of our people to America. (Hear.) There were now on both sides widows, sisters, and brothers wishing and crying out, though not so audibly as they could desire, for peace—(hear)—and it was our duty to prevent, as far as we could, any fuel being added to the devouring flame. (Hear.) What was the opinion of the man who was best com petent to pronounce an opinion upon this subject? Earl Russell, in his despatch to Lord Lyons, dated May 27, 1864, referred to the case of Irishmen enlisted at Portland and Boston for the American army, and said it appeared to her Majesty's Government to be clear, from the reports received from her Majesty's consuls at those ports, that those en listments were effected by the most fraudulent schemes, and contrived and executed in disregard of the neutral rights of Great Britain. It appeared that when they landed at Portland the unfortunate emigrants were plied with drink. They were then dealt with in a manner which made it natural that they should yield to the temp tations and persuasions of the recruiting officers, who obtained access to them by the aid of the police autho rities. Those facts having come to his (Lord E. Howard's) knowledge, he felt it to be only his duty to bring the ques tion before the house with the view of warning those who might still be seduced into those ruinous engagements. He thought that the Secretary for the Colonies might be better able to warn the public generally through the many emigration agents against this abominable system.' The right hon. gentleman, he believed, had applied to the agents at Liverpool on the subject, but they said that they could not aid him in his object. He held in his hand a card distributed by those agents, headed " Notice to Emigrants," which, as far as it went, was very good and unobjectionable. But at the bottom of it he observed a very significant notice—" Remember that in America a dollar is equal to 4s. 2d. English money, and that a cent is equal to one farthing." (Laughter.) Now, ho thought there ought to be some special warning to the public in respect to that particular point, inasmuch as we all knew that an American dollar was worth nothing like 4s in English money at the present time. It was a mere ques tion of humanity to do all they could to prevent some of those poor wretches from enlisting in the United States army, and by doing so to assist in preventing that unneces sary effusion of blood which was a disgrace to humanity. He did not wish to utter any threats, At the same time the United States Government ought to know that our resources were ample, and that we were in a position to become, it ne cessary, the arbiters of the world. If it were possible he should like the Government to give some expression of opinion upon the subject; but, at all events, he felt certain the Foreign-office would do all that was possible to protect those who had been kidnapped from their native land to take part in a war which was a disgrace to both of the contending parties.
